Duchess Guo looked at her son, sighed and said, "Son, Pomegranate has already married, you should give up this thought, hurry up and marry a girl for your mother." ”

"Mother, I can't blame my son, it's all the little bastard's fault, and the girls that my son likes have been snatched away by him, first pomegranate, and then Zuo girl." The little prince said aggrievedly.

"Nonsense, the pomegranate matter has long been over, you are unwilling to let go in your heart, and the matter of the left girl is even more nonsense, you know that she is here for the situation, and it is natural for her to become a woman, how did she become a robber of you?" The Duchess of the Kingdom was furious.

"Mother, I'm your son, you won't make a cameo appearance, and besides, your mother is really serious, right?" The little prince complained. For the first time, the Duchess did not speak for him, which made him even more annoyed.

"What nonsense, if you weren't my son, I'd tell you what to do. Ming'er will choose the girl you like in Suzhou, Nanjing, and Hangzhou, and see who else dares to rob you, if someone dares to rob, my mother will stand up for you. After the Duchess finished speaking, she got up and went into the inner house to look at the pomegranate.

The little prince touched his head, looked left and right, and was reprimanded by his mother for no reason, who did he provoke?

The people sitting at a few tables nearby all laughed secretly, they were also the children of nobles, and they were also very close to the little prince, and they knew the ins and outs of the matter.

"Brother Shi, I heard that there is a Miss Hu in Hangzhou, who is really beautiful and is known as the reincarnation of Xi Shi, senior brother, don't miss it, you might as well go to Hangzhou for a trip, and marry Miss Hu back by the way, and fulfill Mrs. Hu's wish." A prince of the Dingguo Mansion said with a smile.

"Yes, but I heard that there is a Miss Zhao in Changshu who is a shy flower in the closed moon, and the birds in the sky are fluttering and ......falling down when they see her."

"Is that beautiful, or is it so ugly that the birds in the sky are scared that they can't fly?" Before the previous one finished speaking, he was intercepted by a neighboring child who was talking and smiled.

"Of course it's beautiful, how do you talk about it, can someone be ugly and scare the birds in the sky to fall?"

"Then have you ever heard of someone who can make the birds in the sky flutter and fall? Miss Pomegranate is beautiful enough, has the birds in the sky fallen everywhere she went? That Miss Zuo is known as the first beauty in Jiangnan, when did she close the moon and be ashamed? ”

The two choked.

"Rip your eggs, if there was such a good thing, you would have swooped on the flies like blood a long time ago, and you would have left it to me?" The little prince clearly understands the virtues of these people, and he is not fooled at all.

Fortunately, this circle is full of noble children, let them ridicule and ridicule, but no one pays attention.

Tang Bohu, Wen Bin, and Wen Zhengming also helped to entertain these bigwigs, and the bigwigs also liked these talents, Wenbin had just taken the township exam, and many people also asked him about the exam, so Wenbin had to deal with them vaguely.

Lian Daning didn't ask Wen Bin, after he saw the title, he thought that Wen Bin, who was hopeless, should despair, this kind of brain-teaser proposition essay is completely Wen Bin's weakness, and defeat is also a normal thing, so he didn't want to ask at all.

He was still shocked by the news he had just heard, that the emperor had ordered the Duke of Wei to take custody and, according to later generations, was the guardian. The content of the emperor's order is too complicated.

The problem is that even his big backer Xu Jie, who doesn't know this news, otherwise Xu Shi wouldn't have revealed any news to him.

Lian Daning had his own thoughts, and he didn't see this matter as a bad omen, on the contrary, he understood very well that the prince was also trying his best to fight for Besides and Chen Musa, otherwise Zhang Juzheng would not have taken the lead in getting into the list of the shogunate. He didn't blame him in his heart and kept it a secret, on the contrary, he was very grateful, knowing that the emperor's illness was like facing a dangerous abyss.

The glimpse of the fish in the abyss is ominous.

It is conceivable that the emperor will never act like an imperial doctor when he treats him, and he must use this trump card when he is seriously ill, otherwise there is no need to let the Duke of Wei take custody of him, but he would have been recruited to the palace a long time ago.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing originally wanted to recruit and enter the palace, but was blocked by Chen Musa and Wei Guogong in every possible way.

According to Lian Daning's assumption, if Emperor Jiajing is activated when he is seriously ill, there will be no danger, and it is a great achievement to cure the disease, but if he can't cure it, the emperor will return to heaven. The crown prince will never punish him when he succeeds to the throne, and besides, maybe there will be a reward in secret, and the royal family has no relatives, which is difficult for outsiders to understand.

He was already working on the draft in his heart, and he was ready to send a letter to Xu Shi as soon as he went back, and reported the news to the teacher as soon as possible, Xu Jie should be able to get the greatest benefit from this matter. As for how to do it, he doesn't know, it's just a hazy feeling, the officialdom is still far from the teacher.

Although he has stood on Chen Musa's side, the teacher, as the incumbent first assistant, is still the biggest umbrella for him.

"Besides, come, sit down and rest for a while, you don't have to toast tea and toast one by one, they are not outsiders, my lords, are you right?" Lian Daning raised his hand to greet and smiled.

"That's it, little brother, you can do it yourself, today is your big day, you have to save your energy at night, don't waste it on us people." The head of the Dingguo Mansion said with a smile.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and then one by one they persuaded them to rest quickly, not to pay attention to them, not to greet them one by one, they would take care of themselves, and they all had servants and maids by their side.

The British duchess was the most straightforward, went directly to pull the situation away, sat on her table, and said with a smile: "Lord Lian, you should have spoken a long time ago, why did you say it now, and Xiao Xuzi, aren't you guardianship, how is this guardianship, what should I do if I am tired, the emperor has to ask you for the crime." ”

Wei Guogong smiled slightly, not arguing with her, Lian Daning also chose to shut up, no one dared to quarrel with the spicy British duchess. In the imperial court, in addition to the Dingguo Mansion, the most favored are the Zhongshan Palace, the British Mansion, the Rongguo Mansion, and the Mu Palace. Among the ranks of marquis, the most favored is undoubtedly the Marquis of Wucheng.

"Be careful of him, he may be protecting you, or he may be spying on you to prevent you from escaping." The English Duchess whispered in her ear.

Besides, with a wry smile, he had already figured out this matter from the beginning, the so-called guardianship originally had the meaning of surveillance, and its meaning was self-evident. He doesn't feel aggrieved, the teacher is still under house arrest on the central island of Xuanwu Lake, and what is so strange about him being watched. Enabling Wei Guogong to take care of him is already the best treatment, and it is estimated that the emperor doesn't want to make it too obvious, otherwise other ministers or eunuchs will take care of him.

Generally speaking, the emperor sends people to take care of the minister's house, and they use the confidants and eunuchs around him.

"You don't have to be afraid, if something happens, you can escape to me." The English duchess also attached her ear canal.

Besides, he nodded gratefully, if he really wanted something, of course he would not flee to the British Mansion, that was no different from throwing himself into a net, the British Mansion was not a place to turn into an outsider, the emperor's hand could reach into it in minutes, if he really wanted to escape, there was no other choice but overseas. But the fact that the British duchess dared to say such things shows that she is sincere and sincere.

The people around saw the British Duchess talking to him, and they didn't suspect him, they all thought that the British Duchess was teaching him how to behave at night, this kind of thing has always been taught to the bride and groom by his parents, and since his father is not there, of course Wei Guogong, who is a guest father, will not teach him this, and the British Duchess is the best candidate.

Lian Daning called Wen Bin to his desk, and did not ask about the test in his hometown, but told him that the great master Chen Yixue wanted to accept him from the entrance wall, and Wen Bin could only promise. "Don't be discouraged, I originally let you experience this subject, and with your own experience, you can write an article in the future according to the atmosphere in the field."

Wen Bin Weiwei.

"By the way, the question of this township exam is too strange, I really don't know why the emperor came up with such a strange question." Zuo Shilang of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites said with a smile.

"This may be a desperate way to think about change, the emperor is very knowledgeable, maybe he wants to use this method to remind the world's scholars not to stick to the rules." The Ministry of Rites said hurriedly.

It is obviously not a wise move to question the emperor's approach in public, and the words of the Ministry of Rites are to save the scene.

The British duchess smiled and said, "By the way, you also know the questions of this exam, if you end up, you should be able to do well, right?" ”

Besides, he smiled: "I can't do it either, I just hid, and I didn't end up at all, so I didn't have to be ashamed." ”

"Besides, little brother, what you said is not right, since ancient times, there has been no champion outside the field, and you will never be able to make a name for yourself in the imperial examination if you don't end up." The head of the Dingguo Mansion said with a smile.

The Dingguo Mansion has made up its mind to have a good relationship with the situation this time, and the Dingguo Mansion also has a secret letter in Beijing, so the family members here will work so hard.

Other princes and people in the Marquis' Mansion secretly despise his approach, usually the Dingguo Mansion relies on the special grace of the imperial court, the most arrogant, but the worst performance in all aspects of knowledge, only knows the blind voice of dogs and horses, indulgence in enjoyment, and transgression of the rules also happens from time to time, not to mention the ministers of the court, that is, these princes and marquis can't stand it, but unfortunately this is the rule that the Yongle Dynasty has continued, and no one can change it.

Moreover, he smiled slightly at the head of the Dingguo Mansion, indicating that he was taught.

"Besides, the next subject is no longer allowed to be circumvented, since you have entered the national prison, your affairs in the scientific examination also represent the reputation of my country's prison, but I have to rely on you to earn face for me." Meng Fanjun suddenly said in a loud voice.

Besides, he nodded with a wry smile, if he really can't hide, then he will take the next test. I've been a puppet for a day today, and I don't care about being a prisoner in that cramped room for three days.

Besides, he is now the disciple of the two old masters in Jiangnan, this honor makes those noble children envious and jealous, many of them want to worship under Chen Musha's door, but none of them can do so, and some people are now studying in Guozijian, knowing that if they are accepted by Meng Fanjun, it is equivalent to winning the grand prize in their lives, but unfortunately the grand prize is not related to them.
